Colorado Rockies face tough challenge against Arizona Diamondbacks with struggling offense and uncertain pitching situation

Colorado was recently swept on the road by a Texas team that has struggled offensively throughout the season. The Rockies have a poor 2-20 record as visitors and may be starting a pitcher who has not played in three weeks with a limited number of wins. On the other hand, Burnes, despite not having a high win count, has shown strong performance in his recent outings. Considering Colorado's struggles on offense and Burnes' consistency, it is advisable to bet against the Rockies and predict a comfortable win for Arizona.
